    I have run into a similar problem. No real file system on the stick.

    Using fdisk on the stick showed multiple file systems.

     From the manual (A generic USB 2.0 Flash Drive User Manual) for the
    stick it gives this procedure. I pasted in the instructions from the pdf.

    As root.
    Do "fdisk" on the Flash Drive with the following command
      # /sbin/fdisk/ /dev/sda
      Enter "p" to display the partition table
      Enter "d" to delete the partition tables one by one
      Enter "o" to create a new empty DOS partition table
      Enter "n" to add a new partition
      Enter "p" to create primary partition
      Enter "1" for the partition number
      Press "Enter" two times for all capacities
      Enter "w" to write table to disk and exit
    Have the Flash Drive formatted by FAT file system with the command
      # /sbin/mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
    Mount the Flash Drive with the command
      # mount ­t vfat /dev/sda1<expected mount point>
    Mount the Flash Drive with the command
      # mount ­-t vfat /dev/sda1<expected mount point>

    Now when I say generic, I mean it. There is no mention of the
    manufacturer or brand in any of the text or graphics in the document.

    I got the manual from
    http://www.apacer.com/apacer_english/support_html/download.asp
    and under User Manual select Handy Steno 2.0.

    Now this works for this stick but it may not work for yours.
